Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: backupninja
I use backupninja to generate the rdiff-backup scripts to backup my
/home
What I want to do is keep an incremental backup of my /home locally
(this backup is then copied on an external server via rsync).
However, there is a bug in the script generation, which is defined as
"remote" instead of "local" whatever option is chosen
the steps to reproduce the bug:
- run "sudo ninjahelper"
- select "create a new backup action" then "rdiff"
in the "rdiff-backup action wizard" page:
- accept all the default values of the "src" page
- go to the "dest" page and enter the following parameters:
- keep 60D
- dest_directory /tmp/test
- dest_host localhost
- dest_user user
- dest_tyoe local
-> when testing on the "conn" page, I get an error which says that the versions
of rdiff-backup are different on the client and the server, and the program
enters in an infinite loop asking if I want to try again and responding that
the versions of rdiff-backup are different...
- I break the loop by pressing the ESC key, and select "finish" to save the
script under /etc/backup.d/90.rdiff
- when editing this script, the following lines can be found:
[source]
type = local
keep = 60D
...
[dest]
type = remote
directory = /tmp/test
changing the type of the destination from remote to local solves the problem,
the scripts then works.
